When it comes to decorating my kids’ rooms, I’m all about creating special places they’ll want to play in. And so far, it seems I’m getting it right because my two love their rooms even more than I do. Part of the charm comes from the artworks I’ve found for their walls. The criteria? They have to be colourful, of course, as well as interesting enough to catch a child’s attention rather than just fade into the background.
So these wall sculptures from Sydney-based design studio Kahaus are just the sort of thing I look for. The graphically-stylised steelscapes are stunning in their simplicity, plus they’ve got that little twist of whimsy that I find oh-so appealing. I can’t decide whether I like the red trains or the orange hot air balloons the best. Prefer gender-traditional colours for your own nursery? You won't miss out because artist Sarah Haddad also makes steelscapes with blue boats or pink butterflies.
Of course, being a Babyology pick, these aren’t just ordinary artworks. Made from Australian steel, they also double-duty as magnetic boards for keeping party invitations, hair clips, dummies and other important bits and pieces right where you can find them.
All four designs are available here in Australia from Kindergallery for $395 each plus delivery.

We've received a lot of email in the past about our seach functionality not being very user-friendly. So, we desided to swap over to the #1 search technology out there - Google. Now you can search Babyology using Google's search algorithm, it's spelling suggestions and all the Google syntax modifiers as well. For those who haven't used advanced google syntax before, here's a quick primer:
Phrase searches
Sometimes you'll only want results that include an exact phrase. In
this case, simply put quotation marks around your search terms, eg: "bugaboo bee"
Negative terms
You can focus your search
by putting a minus sign ("-") in front of words related to the meaning
you want to avoid, eg: pram -twin
We hope the new search funcationality makes it a lot easier to find the content you're after. Please let us know your feedback in the comments below.
I have previously mentioned to Babyology readers my undying love for stationery, so I'm beside myself by the offerings from Sarah & Abraham!
The designer behind this beautifully printed stationery, Sarah Tams, says her inspiration stems from classic children's prints, her own two children, and a love of both modern and vintage style - and it clearly shows in the range of superb and fresh designs on offer.
Sarah can meet your every need, should it be baby announcements, Christmas cards, stickers, note cards, post cards or prints. There is definitely something for everyone here! If you think these might be a great idea for someone else, gift certificates are also available.
I myself am pining for the personalised Eden cards - these could be my Christmas gift to myself. And with prices starting at US$17.50 for 12 cards with matching envelopes, why on earth not!? Order yours at Sarah & Abraham online. International shipping to Australia is available.
